fred gray pointing out he was rosa parks' lawyer. in the wake of the montgomery bus boycotts, that is what really put martin luther king on the map. luther king was a young pastor -- martin luther king was a young pastor. he became almost inadvertently a local leader when the african-american community in montgomery, alabama, decided to boycott the buses. the city of montgomery decided to prosecute people for not writing the buses. this is an amazing use of the law considering the law has often been used to exclude african-americans. they are trying to force african-americans to take the buses again. martin luther king gets prosecuted under this arcane anti-boycott statute that had almost never been used. 89 people were indicted. they decided, the prosecution and the defense, agreed let have one trial that will serve as the symbol of all of these defendants. martin luther king was the first and only person ended up getting tried in connection with this. fred gray represented him. the reason it put martin luther king on the map is bec

they set up for rosa parks to do it nine months later. because she was a member of the cpp, she was more mature. she was from the right social circles. and so that's how rosa parks ended up with the movement. but it was actually this 15 year old girl that did it or organically because she truly believed in it. and the courage that she showed. you know, then you look at someone like virginia, walden, ford. here was a woman who lived in crime ridden area of d.c. and we know our children. we have one job. one job is to make sure that we get it right. and she was so worried about her son's education and she would say it's the segregation, our time that our children are educated based on where they're born and raised, not based on the fact that they deserve a good education. and they had terrible public schools. and so she fought and rallied parents around it. and the amazing thing is, she testified all the way up until. but she was terrified of public speaking. but her love of her son mattered more than that. and she was able to get school ch

the rosa parks was inspired by clark. they did it nine months later. she was light skin married. she was the model fred gray was a lawyer for rose apostles. also the lord for claudette. he was beyond that and one reason why that story hit at home to me. i didn't come. from a family of preaching many of the ministers that have been in civil rights are the second third or fourth generation preachers. my father was not that and my father left when i was 10, and my mother had to raise me on a wealth and food stamps my sister and i so i didn't have the pedigree and the lineage of a lot of the high profile civil rights preaching leaders had before me and you face class things there. i remember when i was 18 a guy joined my youth group. he got killed his daddy was a big entertain his daddy took me like his son. he was james brown the godfather so of a lot of the ministers i was around civil rights look down to with james brown this gut bucket and they win this refined thing but james brown was who we like so i think that what i wanted to raise there was all of this you got to qualify to

nine months before rosa parks did in montgomery. the black community leadership, many preachers i might add, past, did not want to fight and make a symbol out of claudette because she was dark skin and she was pregnant and wasn't married. so it came a a class thing ani don't think a lot of times we want to talk about some of the class stuff that we have in our own community. rosa parks was inspired by claudette and nine months later she was light skin, married, she a model. fred gray was a lawyer for claudette. even beyond that. one of the reasons why the story hit home for me, i didn't come from a family of preaching. many of the ministers that have been in civil rights are the second, third or fourth generation preachers. my father was not that, and my father left when i was ten and my mother had to raise me on welfare food stamps, my sister and i. so i didn't have the pedigree and the lineage of a lot of the high-profile civil rights preaching leaders had before me. and you face class things there. i remember when i was 18, i gui

they were not march luther king, they were not rosa parks, they're just average people.put themselves in this position hoping to wake people up a little bit. and of course, they builds on the work that so many others have done up until that point. including these people are nine who were at the library and type two blue trying to integrate adjust a few years earlier. but it, and were you going to say something? >> yeah, i also think it is important and showing those sort of reaction to people get out of nonviolent demonstrations. i think that they saw the use of nonviolent demonstration as a positive way, a powerful way to get their message across. because they knew if they were to act out in turn around and had someone or threw coffee at them, they knew they wouldn't get anywhere with that. the legal system at the time would allow that. >> i mean, they might have an even worse treated. but of course, even would not fighting they were horribly treated. yes? >> just add on to what america said, it really does highlight the amount of racism in hatred in the peoples hearts

they were not rosa parks. they were just average people they put themselves in this position hoping, you know to kind of wake people up a little bit and of course they built on the work that so many others had done up until that point. i'm including the two glue 9, right who were at the library in tupelo trying to integrate it just a couple of years earlier, but ada recently say something. yeah. also just think it's important in showing like the sort of since that people would get out of like non-violent demonstrations, and i think that they saw the use of non-violent demonstrations as like a positive way or like a powerful way to get their message across because they knew that if they were to act out and like turn around and hit someone through coffee at them. they knew like they wouldn't get anywhere with that because the the legal system at the time wouldn't allow that i mean they write they might have been even worse treated right? but of course even when not fighting they were horribly treated actually. y

and that was before rosa parks. rosa parks is justifiably famous for refusing to leave her seat and she got arrested and that was the beginning of the montgomery bus boycott and really the beginning of a great movement in the south. but this 15-year-old girl did it first. and so we have a lot of -- we are trying to bring a lot of these obscure people back into the forefront of our attention and inspire young people to say, "this is the way to live." amy: howard zinn in the democracy now! studio in 2009 as he launched the paperback edition of "a young people's history of the united states." he died unexpectedly the next year in january 2010. we end today's show with one of howard zinn's last public appearances. he spoke in november 2009 at boston university. >> when i was discharged from the army, from the air force, i got a letter from general marshall. he was a general general. he sent me a letter, not a personal letter to me. "dear howie." no. [laughter] a letter that was sent to 16 million men who served in the a

and validation for others that also inspired me too write this book who assume asn important as rosa park. i want to trade a book about them because i was them. i did not get the prototype of what a k quote civil rights lear was supposed to fit. to be out of the norm out of the hood. i did not go to the ivy league school. that should not qualify you or not qualify you. it isyo where they are committe, whether you are desperate where they're going to fight for the people. i know plenty people that are ivy league trained in the right lineage new referred to kimberly crenshaw when things appreciated that you call out from the classes on color as them. but do exist they division within the race that makes it complicated to advance some of the work as well. >> and so people divide to politically break us down. they couldn't make us uncomfortable with each other tfeeling superior to each other based on these fictitious walls. they can do that what we need to do. one doesn't mean i can't work with her that her atheists because if we believe in the same values and principles how we get there is o

whose 1955 murdo has been described as giving rosa parks the strength to sit down. and martin luther king jr. the courage to stand up. this is one of our great lives presentations in conjunction with the universities celebration of black history month. i'd like first to thank our program sponsor aes corporation for their generous support of great lives it is this kind of support that's so crucial in making a serious possible as a public service to our community. now speak of this evening is university of kansas professor. dave tell. author of the 2019 book titled remembering emmett till which will be available for sale and signing in the foyer at the conclusion of tonight's program. dr. tell who has a doctorate from penn state. has one numerous awards for both research and teaching. his research focuses on issues of race memory and the digital humanities since 2014 he has focused in particular on the legacy of the murder of emmett till. in which endeavor he has been a long time partner with emmett till commission of tallahatchie county. his work has a strong public

the martin luther kings-over the world and rosa parks of course and others that were sort of managing and pushing the movement forward on the national level. she had this passion she had to make a change because her life was so profoundly difficult and she was so oppressed and so many things wereo taken from her that at a very late age, she was about 40 years old, 44 years old, she decided it was time that she would make a difference. her faith fortified her to move forward and her body, her soul, and she went onto lead people around the country and inspire them and she became famous and she was given a platform to talk about what was happening in mississippi and how african americans were not represented there and her heart felt speech that was so powerful it shook the people in the room and men and women in the video were crying in august of 1964. deeply moved all of them and changed people so that it altered really the course, i believe, of the civil rights movement. president johnson was affected by the chief and has been powerful over the past few decades and is under threat toda

and with the rosa parks and to get his case only to the supreme court they don't listen to it.tried to get the aclu to take his case and they will not. to understand the homosexuality that they defend communist people they were not take the place of —- the case of thehe gay person and instrumental in getting the psychiatric association to remove homosexuality from mental disorders. the first openly gay people to rent for congress this is all through the first amendment arguments and persuasion appealing to the better angels of our nature so now i feel on both sides have a swath of the country beyond persuasion. and that's aar real danger for democracy when we determined they are beyond the scope of persuasion and dialogue then concerned about the future health of our ability to work out our problems. >> what resonated with me aboutam that example so those literal nazis brought from germany who are working in alabama. and then to echo to tell the stories to add quickly that the person who purchased the car and this is a person even with those inov the movement did not know. >> t

he's in some sense the rosa parks of the gay movement. >> all the way to the supreme court, they don't listen to it and he tried to get the aclu toa take his case and the aclu will not take his case and it's important to understand how lonely it is and they'll defend to the earlier point and left wing sensitivities and not taking the case of the left wing and he goes onto find the first priorities in the united states and organizes more and the american psychiatric move and mental disorders and firsty openly gay person to run for congress in washington dc and i really, again, the fact that the point of this conversation today, this is all throughh the first amendment and everything i've just lifted with persuasion appealing to the better angles of our nature. one thing i'm worried about in this country now is i feel that on both sides we have decided that there are swabs of the country and that's a real danger for our knock seizure disorders and when we've determined that there are people whorm are sortf beyond the scope of persuasion of dialogue, then i am concerned about the future h

the martin luther king's of the world and rosa parks of course and others that were sort of managing and pushing the movement forward on the national level. she had this passion that she had to make a change because her life was so profoundly difficult and she was so impressed and so many things have been taken from her at a very late age she was about 40 yearsold , 44 years old she decided it was time she would make a difference and she was a deeply spiritual woman. her faith was everything to her. her family meant everything to her and so did her community and that's where our activism started and her faith fortified her to move forward when violence was perpetrated against her, her body, her soul and she went on to lead the people around the country and inspire them and she became famous for those of you may know those that don't in 1964 as at the democratic national convention in atlantic city she was given a platform to talk about what was coming in mississippi and how african-americans were not represented their and they were denied the vote in mississippi and her heartfelt spe

and i thought, okay, we've got stories about king and rosa parks and harriet tubman.vor: what did you garner from that experience that help you to tell the story? >> it was access. that is jesse's thing, access. it is quite provided. it's a metaphor in a way. if you can touch the sky in your life in that way, you can pretty much do anything. >> trevor: you truly can, you truly can. [cheers and applause] what i love most is how many times the parallels will be drawn between characters that great actors are playing and the lives that they themselves are living. i think you are no different. you are ascending at a rate that everybody is enjoying. you truly are. you are flying from indie films to a show that was beloved on hbo and then now as you said, you will be in a marble movie, marble movie s. it is the opposite end of the spectrum, it is so big. how do you hold onto the small that you love and acting? i know that you love the minute. but at the same time, we saw you in "loki," you made a pretty kick ass villain. >> yeah, i love acting. >> trevor: it shows. >> thank

that's how significant mamie till mobley, it was the direct reason rosa parks didn't get off that busople understand. it didn't start with george floyd. it continues with george floyd. it started when a courageous woman opened that casket. and starting to expose what we have to deal with and why we have to deal with racism in this country. the story can't be told without the story of mamie till mobley. >> keith it made me cry when the rev said that, how do you feel when he says that, that she thought of you like a son? >> you know, i was very young when mother mobley and i was together. she was my mentor for eight and a half years until she took her last breath, and this, you know, it's a sense of fulfillment. i'm battling a lot of emotions. we lost a lot of people along the way, the people i interviewed, that led to the reopening of the case had passed on, so you have that question in your head, are you doing the right thing, are you second guessing why you're here, going through all of the emotions. one thing i know for sure is it is very important that we continue to tell emmett's

it was the direct reason rosa parks didn't get up off that bus and it took all these years to thank godry is out. it didn't start with george floyd, it continues with george floyd. it started when a courageous woman opened that casket. and not when the lynching started, but starting to expose what we have to deal with and why we have to deal with racism in this country. the story can't be told without the story of mamie till mobley. >> keith, it makes me cry when the rev says that. she thought of you like a son. >> i was very young when mother mobley was together. she was my mentor for 8 1/2 years until she took her last breath. it's a sense of fulfillment. i'm battling a lot of emotions right now. we lost a lot of the people, a lot of the witnesses for the untold story of emmett louis till that led to the reopening of the case. you have the question are you doing the right thing? are you second guessing? going through all of those emotions but one thing i know for sure is that it is very important that we continue to tell emmett's story as mother mobley would say until man's consciousn

we are underestimated, like rosa parks. we are fearless, like jesse coleman.t like tina turner. the legacies of these women, and so many more are what keep me going. >> i'm gonna resist the urge to comment on that fabulous, or distress. and i ask you, give us, we need some encouragement from the queen mother. give us some encouragement. what keeps you grounded add centered at times when i think a lot of women do feel like their strength is faltering. what keeps you going? you mentioned your heroes. what else can you give us, just a word. we need a word for meal. >> oh lord. [laughter] absolutely. i'm a person of faith. i look to the hills which comes my strength. so, that's first and foremost. i look to the side, the each side in front of me, and to the strength of women who are, who's feeling the ground just like mine. we don't walk on air, who have struggles, they all do. and that's what makes us richer. and more complex, it gives a strength. so, each of those women that i mentioned. you, know they went through things, went through things. they gave a lot of

like rosa parks. we are fearless, well like -- coleman.ent like tina turner, the legacies of these women, and so many more, are what keep me going. >> okay, i'm gonna resist the urge to comment on that fabulous, gorgeous dress, and just ask you, give us some encouragement. we need some encouragement from the queen mother. give us some encouragement. what keeps you grounded and centered at times when i think a lot of women do feel like their strength is faltering. what keeps you going? you just mentioned your heroes, but what else can you give us, just a word, we need a word from you. >> oh lord. well absolutely be a person of faith. you know, i look to the healers from which commit my strength. so, that's first and foremost. and i look to the side, to each side and in front of me. into the strength of women who are, whose feet on the ground just like mine, who do not walk on air. but who have struggles. we all do. and that is what makes us richer. and more complex and gives us strength. so, each of those women that i mentioned, you know, t

francisco mayor willie brown, that includes the plan to open the central subway station celebrate rosa parksation. we celebrate the central subway. and san francisco again becomes a living example. of how you should and can do things. we just didn't do it. with the right speed. i wish we could have finished it. before rose moved on. pack passed away in 2016, but her legacy continues to live on through the central subway and underground train with four stops connecting chinatown to union square and the babe. you it literally moves trying to town 10 to 15 minutes closer to the east bay. you'll be able to take part from the east bay to powell station and transferred again from chinatown . it'll say 15 to 20 minutes off of travel from the peninsula to the caltrain station just before eight this morning, city leaders and members of the chinatown community rode the first train, they say after decades of planning and construction and billions of dollars the modern looking subway ran smoothly of mind blowing because, like this project took a while to complete and it's finally done important to the c

rosa parks was arrested, she didn't break a custom, she broke the law.ep acting like the government had no involvement in those 350 years. so i'm glad you put the context right. people say, why should it be based on race? because slavery was based on race. you are correcting what was done. professor, one last midterm question. the washington post reported this weekend that while more than eight in ten blacks supported democrats in this election cycle, they slipped between four and seven points in this last cycle according to exit polling at the ap. what does that tell you about when democrats need to give priority, looking in the next two years? >> as you know, they fluctuate between five and 10% for candidates, depending on who they are. you see a greater fluctuation in non presidential races. so i don't think we should read too much into that. but i will say is that we know every national election, democrats are falling on black people to save the party. so to be that inciting low, and then as soon as black people come out and vote, it seems like there

for instance, we will be far -- but it was sarah mae flynn who was before rosa parks integrated publicof things that will be dealt with at this institution. they are going to be moving out into the community, with the sororities and the fraternities bringing them into this process in such a way that people get a much better appreciation of south carolina's role in all of this. and i have a little bit to do with that. i have organized the first city that was held here in south carolina. >> congratulations to you and emily for being honored in this way. congressman james clyde burn, thank you as ever for joining us tonight. >> thank you very much for having me. >> coming up, colorado governor jarred polis will join us next. i tried everything to remove fabric odors, but my clothes still smelled. until i finally found new downy rinse and refresh! it doesn't just cover odors, it helps remove them up to 3 times better than detergent alone! find new downy rinse & refresh in the fabric softener aisle. i was always the competitive one in our family...

in some sense is the rosa parks i guess of the gay movement . and he tries to get his firing overturned. he tries to appeal his case all the way to thesupreme court . they don't us into it. he tries to get the aclu to take his case and even the aclu will not take his case and it's important to o understand how lonely the american homosexual was at this time that the aclu was to defend, it would defend the communists and people who were accused of communism and left-wing sympathies but they would not take the case of a gay person fired by his government. he goes on to found the mattachine society organizes protests outside the white in house in 1965. he's instrumental in getting the americanpsychiatric association to remove homosexuality from the list of mental disorders . these the first openly gay person to run for congress in washington dc in 1971. and i really 97again the fact the point of this conversation today this is all through the first te amendment, everything that i've listed through the arguments persuasion, appealing to the better a

for instance, we will be far -- but it was sarah mae flynn who was before rosa parks integrated public. these are the kinds of things that will be dealt with at this institution. they are going to be moving out into the community, with the sororities and the fraternities bringing them into this process in such a way that people get a much better appreciation of south carolina's role in all of this. and i have a little bit to do with that. i have organized the first city that was held here in south carolina. >> congratulations to you and emily for being honored in this way. congressman james clyde burn, thank you as ever for joining us tonight. >> thank you very much for having me. >> coming up, colorado governor jarred police will join us next. next space. the boundary of human achievement. the new frontier. ♪♪ eh. ♪♪ it's not time to escape. it's time to engage. it's time to plant more trees. hoo! ♪♪ time to build more trust. time to make more space for all of us. so while the others look to the metaverse and mars, let's stay here and restore ours. yeah, it's time to blaze our trail.

you've not seen us as women, rosa park, sojourner truth, coretta scott king, harriet tubman, stand away from the fight. we have embraced freedom, justice and equality. you did not see us attack this most solid and come behr institution, sacred, on january -- and somber institution, sacred, on january 6, 2021. we were in the the masses trying to undermine democracy. in fact, in this last election, i stood on the premise of defending democracy and i take no back seat to my love of this nation. and so i ask my colleagues why do you in any way doubt the value and importance of h.r. 40? the purpose is to acknowledge the fundamental injustice and inhumanity of slavery in the united states and to establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations from the -- for the institution of slavery. it was biensd the premise of racism. there was in fact no compensation, no life insurance, no salaries and slaves were born, they lived and died in slavery. never seeing freedom. they worked from sun up and beyond and they worked until they fell dead in the fields. t
